pUCCHsituation, but the relative position in the starting position based on the whole PUCCH region that configures in up unit frequency band of distance, in the situation of the PUCCH resource (ACK/NACK resource) of using in the transmission of definition ack/nack signal, in formula (2), do not need N
pUCCH.
For example, in the constituent parts frequency band i shown in Fig. 4 (wherein, i=0,1), the CCE n in formula (2)
cCE(i) be n
cCE(0)=1~k and n
cCE(1)=1~j.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, map unit 214 is according to formula (2), the starting position N in the SIB2 of the descending unit frequency band of Jiang Congyou unit's frequency band 0 notice, corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 PUCCH region
pUCCHplay k ACK/NACK resource #1~#k, be set as the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0.That is to say, as shown in Figure 4, ACK/NACK resource #1~#k is associated respectively for the CCE#1~#k of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0.
Then, as shown in Figure 4, the CCE of map unit 214 based on calculating according to formula (1) counts N

cCE(0)).In addition, map unit 214, will be from starting position (N according to formula (2)
pUCCH+ N
cCE(0)) play j ACK/NACK resource # (k+1)~# (k+j) and be set as the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.That is to say, as shown in Figure 4, ACK/NACK resource # (k+1)~# (k+j) is associated respectively for the CCE#1~#j of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.
In addition, map unit 214, by the ack/nack signal of the downlink data being assigned with using respectively the CCE#1~#k of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Fig. 4, is mapped to respectively corresponding to the ACK/NACK resource #1~#k in the PUCCH region of unit frequency band 0.In addition, as shown in Figure 4, map unit 214 by the CCE#1~#j of applying unit frequency band 1 respectively and the ack/nack signal of the downlink data being assigned be mapped to respectively corresponding to ACK/NACK resource # (the k+1)~# (k+j) in the PUCCH region of unit frequency band 1.That is to say, map unit 214 is spendable CCE number in the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 based on CFI information (in Fig. 4 for CFI0), sets changeably the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.In other words, map unit 214 is spendable CCE number in the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 based on CFI information (in Fig. 4 for CFI0), sets changeably the end position in the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0.Particularly, map unit 214 guarantees that the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 is equivalent to the number corresponding to CCE number that can use in the descending unit frequency band with unit frequency band 0.
On the other hand, same with terminal 200, CFI0 and the CFI1 of the ACK/NACK receiving element 122 of base station 100 based on from control unit 102 inputs, the CCE that calculates each descending unit frequency band according to formula (1) counts N
cCE.In addition, same with terminal 200, ACK/NACK receiving element 122 is set the PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource #1~#k Fig. 4 shown in) corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 and the PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource # (k+1)~# (k+j) Fig. 4 shown in) corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.In addition, ACK/NAACK receiving element 122, in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band, extracts respectively the ack/nack signal to the PDSCH signal of each descending unit frequency band from ACK/NACK resource corresponding to No. CCE of CCE with having distributed PDCCH signal.
Like this, terminal 200 is in the up unit frequency band that this terminal has been set, based on according to be set to the CFI information of each descending unit frequency band of this terminal calculate, spendable CCE number (the CCE number that base station 100 can send) in each descending unit frequency band, the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band is controlled on every subframe ground.
Here, be configured ACK/NACK resource required in the PUCCH to each up unit frequency band and depend on the CCE number using in the PDCCH of configuration to each descending unit frequency band.In addition, be configured the CCE number that uses in the PDCCH to each descending unit frequency band different in every subframe.That is to say, in each up unit frequency band, the PUCCH region corresponding from each descending unit frequency band (with the associated ACK/NACK number of resources of the CCE of each descending unit frequency band) is different to every subframe.
But terminal 200 is calculated spendable CCE number in each descending unit frequency band by the CFI information based on every subframe is notified, thereby control the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.Therefore, terminal 200 can guarantee to be equivalent to the ACK/NACK number of resources corresponding with the CCE number that can use at each descending unit frequency band (the CCE number that base station can send) to every subframe.That is to say, terminal 200 can guarantee with spendable CCE number in each descending unit frequency band, in each descending unit frequency band for ACK/NACK resource corresponding to the CCE number of cutting apart of PDSCH signal.That is to say, in terminal 200, in the up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Fig. 4, for unit frequency band 0 and unit frequency band 1 both sides' descending unit frequency band, only guarantee respectively required minimal ACK/NACK resource.
Like this, according to present embodiment, terminal, based on the CFI information to every subframe notice from base station, is calculated spendable CCE number in each descending unit frequency band, and the CCE number based on calculating, and controls the PUCCH region to each descending unit frequency band.Thus, terminal can be set in the up unit frequency band of this terminal, and every subframe is guaranteed and is set to required minimal PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource) corresponding to each descending unit frequency band of this terminal.In addition, terminal is that system information (SIB) and CFI information are controlled PUCCH region based on existing signaling in LTE.That is to say, in the present embodiment, without LTE-A newly being appended to the signaling that mails to terminal from base station.Therefore, according to present embodiment, even in the situation that send a plurality of ack/nack signals of the downlink data to having sent respectively with a plurality of descending units frequency band from a up unit frequency band, also can not increase signaling, and reduce the PUCCH region (ACK/NACK number of resources) in up unit frequency band.
In addition, according to present embodiment, by the PUCCH region limits in up unit frequency band, needs guaranteed to Min., thereby can guarantee more PUSCH resource, so can improve the data throughout of uplink.In addition, in descending unit frequency band, without newly appending signaling, so PDCCH resource does not increase, thereby can prevent that the data throughout of downgoing line from declining.
In addition, according to present embodiment, terminal, by being set in the up unit frequency band of this terminal, makes the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band adjacent, thereby all PUCCH regions is gathered and are configured in a place.Therefore, terminal can be distributed more continuous resource (RB) for PUSCH signal.Here, base station is in the RB situation having continued for terminal distribution PUSCH signal time-division accessory, only notice starts No. RB and RB number (or finishing No. RB), so can further reduce the notice bit for notifying resource to distribute, can improve allocation efficiency of resource.
In addition, for example, as LTE-A, each descending unit frequency band be broadband (for example, 20MHz frequency band), in situation, also can the CCE of each descending unit frequency band not guaranteed to be equivalent to for take the maximum number guaranteed by maximum OFDM code element number (being 3OFDM code element) here.This is because in the situation that each descending unit frequency band is broadband, the resource of the every 1OFDM code element that can use in PDCCH is more.That is to say, in most subframes, need maximum 3OFDM code element little as the probability of the OFDM code element number using in PDCCH (CFI information).That is to say, even if maximum CCE number is not guaranteed in base station 100, also can be for the sufficient CCE of a plurality of terminal distribution, and can obtain sufficient frequency scheduling effect.For example, can be in the situation that guarantee maximum 80 CCE in the descending unit frequency band of 20MHz frequency band in 1 subframe, half i.e. CCE of 40 that maximum number also can only be guaranteed in base station 100.Thus, terminal 200 only to the CCE number calculating based on CFI information half 40 CCE guarantee PUCCH region, thereby can reduce PUCCH region, can improve the throughput of upstream data.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the setting of the PUCCH in the up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Fig. 4 has been described, as the setting in a routine PUCCH region.But in the present invention, the PUCCH for the up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 1 shown in Fig. 4, also can carry out the setting in PUCCH region equally with above-mentioned execution mode.
(execution mode 2)
In the present embodiment, by be set in a plurality of descending unit frequency band of terminal, be set to PUCCH region corresponding to the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal, the PUCCH region more corresponding than the descending unit frequency band beyond the descending unit frequency band associated with up unit frequency band, is set in the end of up unit frequency band.
Below specifically describe present embodiment.In the following description, the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band i (wherein, i is unit reel number frequently) and the descending unit frequency band of the frequency band i of unit are associated.Here, with the broadcast message notice of the descending unit frequency band up unit frequency band associated with descending unit frequency band.In addition, the broadcast message of the system information (SIB2) of the descending unit frequency band by comprising the frequency band i of the unit of distributing to, by the PUCCH area information of the starting position in the up unit frequency band for representation unit frequency band i, corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of the frequency band i of unit PUCCH region (the PUCCH config shown in Fig. 5) from base station 100 (Fig. 1) notice to terminal 200 (Fig. 2).
For example, in Fig. 5, the broadcast message generation unit 108 of base station 100 will, for the system information (SIB2) of the starting position (resource number) in the up unit frequency band of representation unit frequency band 0 (unit frequency band 1), corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 (unit frequency band 1) PUCCH region, be set the descending unit frequency band to unit frequency band 0 (unit frequency band 1).
The establishing method 1 and 2 of PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource) is described below.
< establishing method 1 >
In this establishing method, terminal 200 is being set in the up unit frequency band of this terminal, from descending unit frequency band a plurality of descending unit frequency band that this terminal has been set, associated with this up unit frequency band, according to the order of the descending unit frequency band predetermining (unit frequently reel number), the PUCCH region corresponding with a plurality of descending units frequency bands set in order from the starting position of the described resource area with the associated descending unit frequency band broadcast of described up unit frequency band.
Here, the setup unit 101 (Fig. 1) of base station 100 by the downgoing line shown in Fig. 5 and the downgoing line system that You Liangge unit's frequency band forms respectively, two descending unit frequency bands (unit frequency band 0 and unit frequency band 1) and a up unit frequency band (unit frequency band 0) set to terminal 1, and two descending unit frequency bands (unit frequency band 0 and unit frequency band 1) and a up unit frequency band (unit frequency band 1) set to terminal 2.Here, terminal 1 and terminal 2 have the structure identical with terminal 200 (Fig. 2) in execution mode 1.
In addition, as shown in 5, same with execution mode 1 (Fig. 4), the CFI information of unit frequency band 0 is made as to CFI0, the CFI information of Bing Jiang unit's frequency band 1 is made as CFI1.In addition, as shown in Figure 5, same with execution mode 1 (Fig. 4), the CCE number that the descending unit frequency band of Jiang unit's frequency band 0 can be used is made as k (CCE#1~#k), and the spendable CCE number of descending unit frequency band of Bing Jiang unit's frequency band 1 is made as j (CCE#1~#j).
Therefore, the allocation units 105 (Fig. 1) of base station 100 distribute respectively the PDCCH signal of each terminal to setting to the CCE#1~#k of descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 of terminal 1 and terminal 2 and any of the CCE#1~#j of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.
In addition, in the up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Fig. 5 or unit frequency band 1, each map unit 214 of terminal 1 and terminal 2 is to the CCE#1~#k of applying unit frequency band 0 respectively and the ack/nack signal of the downlink data being assigned with and to the CCE#1~#j of applying unit frequency band 1 respectively and the ack/nack signal of the downlink data being assigned with, and is mapped to the PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band of using in the distribution with each downlink data.
Here, from the descending unit frequency band associated with each up unit frequency band according to the unit order of reel number frequently, from the end of each up unit frequency band, the starting position of the PUCCH region of the descending unit frequency band broadcast associated with each up unit frequency band (that is, with) rises and sets in order for sending the PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource) of the ack/nack signal of the downlink data being assigned with using the CCE of each descending unit frequency band.
Particularly, in the up unit frequency band of the frequency band i of unit, from the starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 notice of the descending unit frequency band by the frequency band i of unit, according to unit frequency band (i), unit frequency band ((i+1) mod N
cc), unit frequency band ((i+2) mod N
cc) ..., the frequency band ((i+N of unit
cc-1) mod N
cc) order, set the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.Wherein, computing mod represents modular arithmetic, N
ccrepresent descending unit frequency band number.
That is to say, as shown in Figure 5, in the up unit frequency band of the map unit 214 unit frequency band 0 of terminal 1, by k ACK/NACK resource #1~#k the starting position in the SIB2 notice of the descending unit frequency band from by unit frequency band 0, corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 PUCCH region, be set as the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0.Then, same with execution mode 1, as shown in Figure 5, j ACK/NACK resource # (k+1)~# (k+j) is played in the starting position (# (k+1)) in the PUCCH region that the descending unit frequency band of the map unit 214Jiang Congyu unit frequency band 1 of terminal 1 (=(0+1) mod2) is corresponding, is set as the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.That is to say, as shown in Figure 5, according to the order of the descending unit frequency band of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, unit frequency band 1, from the end of the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, (that is, the starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 broadcast of the descending unit frequency band by unit frequency band 0) risen and set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.
On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, in the up unit frequency band of the map unit 214 unit frequency band 1 of terminal 2, by j ACK/NACK resource #1~#j the starting position in the SIB2 notice of the descending unit frequency band from by unit frequency band 1, corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1 PUCCH region, be set as the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.Then, as shown in Figure 5, k ACK/NACK resource # (j+1)~# (j+k) is played in the starting position (# (j+1)) in the PUCCH region that the descending unit frequency band of the map unit 214Jiang Congyu unit frequency band 0 of terminal 2 (=(1+1) mod2) is corresponding, is set as the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0.That is to say, as shown in Figure 5, according to the order of the descending unit frequency band of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 0, from the end of the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, (that is, the starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 broadcast of the descending unit frequency band by unit frequency band 1) risen and set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.
That is to say, in each up unit frequency band, than PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band beyond the descending unit frequency band associated with each up unit frequency band, be set at the end of up unit frequency band with each up unit frequency band PUCCH region that associated descending unit frequency band is corresponding respectively.In addition, from set with the frequency band of each the up unit frequency band PUCCH that associated descending unit frequency band is corresponding respectively (, the end of up unit frequency band) rise, towards the centre frequency of up unit frequency band (, the inner side of up unit frequency band), set in order and the up unit frequency band PUCCH region that associated descending unit frequency band descending unit frequency band is in addition corresponding respectively.Here, same with execution mode 1, the CFI information of each terminal (terminal 200) based on each descending unit frequency band and every subframe is controlled to the starting position with each up unit frequency band PUCCH region that associated descending unit frequency band descending unit frequency band is in addition corresponding respectively.
In LTE-A, not only require to take in LTE-A terminal, and require to take in LTE terminal.Here, with regard to LTE terminal, be set a up unit frequency band and a descending unit frequency band.In addition, now, with regard to LTE terminal, must be set be mutually related up unit frequency band and descending unit frequency band.That is to say, in the up unit frequency band that LTE terminal has been set, the PUCCH region that LTE terminal is used is set regularly by the SIB2 (broadcast message) of the descending unit frequency band associated with this up unit frequency band.
Therefore, in this establishing method, in the up unit frequency band using in LTE terminal, PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band associated with this up unit frequency band (the descending unit frequency band that LTE terminal is used) must be configured in the end of up unit frequency band.In addition, based on CFI information, than PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band using with LTE terminal, PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band (the descending unit frequency band that for example, only LTE-A terminal is used) beyond the descending unit frequency band associated with the up unit frequency band of LTE terminal use is configured in the inner side of up unit frequency band.Thus, can be from the end of up unit frequency band towards the carrier frequency (centre frequency) of up unit frequency band, each PUCCH region corresponding with a plurality of descending units frequency bands configured continuously.That is to say, same with execution mode 1, terminal 200 can be set changeably based on CFI information the starting position in the PUCCH region that descending unit frequency band beyond descending unit frequency band associated in the up unit frequency band using with LTE terminal is corresponding, and seamlessly setting makes the continuous frequency band in PUCCH region from setting the end of the up unit frequency band of having given this terminal.Therefore, according to this establishing method, same with execution mode 1, PUCCH region can be suppressed to Min..
Like this, according to this establishing method, even the in the situation that of LTE-A terminal and LTE terminal coexistence, also can support LTE terminal at each up unit frequency band, and same with execution mode 1, reduce PUCCH region.
In addition, according to this establishing method, in certain up unit frequency band, the PUCCH region that starting position is controlled by CFI information (for example, the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of only LTE-A terminal use), compare the PUCCH region corresponding with descending unit frequency band corresponding to this up unit frequency band, be configured in changeably inner side.Thus, even inferior in the less situation of CFI information, in the less situation of the stock number of PUCCH, the end that is configured in up unit frequency band is also always gathered in PUCCH region.Therefore,, according to this establishing method, the resource in continuous broadband can be guaranteed to the resource as PUSCH, and can improve allocation efficiency of resource.
In addition, according to this establishing method, the starting position in PUCCH region and the descending units N of system of the SIB2 of the descending unit frequency band based on by associated with up unit frequency band notice
cc, at each up unit frequency band, according to the order of the unit frequency band having preset, set PUCCH region.Therefore, terminal can only be used existing control information and determine uniquely the PUCCH region corresponding with all descending units frequency bands, and does not need new signaling.
In addition, in this establishing method, the unit frequency band number that system has been described is the situation of two (Fig. 5).But in the present invention, the unit frequency band number of system is not limited to the situation of two.For example, the situation that the unit frequency band number of use Fig. 6 illustrative system is 3.As shown in Figure 6, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, from the end of up unit frequency band, rise (starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 notice by unit frequency band 0), in order the setting PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 2.Equally, as shown in Figure 6, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, from the end of up unit frequency band, rise (starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 notice by unit frequency band 1), in order the setting PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 2, unit frequency band 0.Up unit frequency band for unit frequency band 2 is also same.
< establishing method 2 >
In this establishing method, terminal 200 is being set in the up unit frequency band of this terminal, from be set to descending unit frequency band a plurality of descending unit frequency band of this terminal, associated with this up unit frequency band start, according to the order of the near descending unit frequency band of the carrier frequency of the distance descending unit frequency band associated with up unit frequency band, from the end of up unit frequency band, start sequentially to set the PUCCH region corresponding with a plurality of descending units frequency bands.
In the following description, the unit frequency band number of illustrative system is the situation of 3.
For example, as shown in Figure 7, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, from the end of up unit frequency band (starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 notice by unit frequency band 0), according to the order of unit frequency band 0, unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 2, be set the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.That is to say, be set the terminal 200 of up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 according to the order in PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band of the carrier frequency of the descending unit frequency band of PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band of the nearest unit frequency band 1 of the carrier frequency of the descending unit frequency band of PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band with unit frequency band 0, Yu Ju unit's frequency band 0, Yu Ju unit's frequency band 0 unit frequency band 2 farthest, from the end of the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, set in order each PUCCH region.
On the other hand, as shown in Figure 7, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 2, from the end of up unit frequency band (starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 notice by unit frequency band 2), according to the order of unit frequency band 2, unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 0, set the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.That is to say, be set the terminal 200 of up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 2 according to the order in PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band of the carrier frequency of the descending unit frequency band of PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band of the nearest unit frequency band 1 of the carrier frequency of the descending unit frequency band of PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit frequency band with unit frequency band 2, Yu Ju unit's frequency band 2, Yu Ju unit's frequency band 2 unit frequency band 0 farthest, from the end of the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 2, set in order each PUCCH region.
In addition, in Fig. 7, at the central unit frequency band 1 that is positioned at a plurality of units frequency band (, the unit frequency band adjacent with unit frequency band 2 with unit frequency band 0) in up unit frequency band, with Fig. 6 of establishing method 1 similarly, according to the order of unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 2, unit frequency band 0, from the end of up unit frequency band, set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.But, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, also can, according to the order of unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 0, unit frequency band 2, from the end of up unit frequency band, set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.In addition, same with execution mode 1, terminal 200, based on CFI information, is set the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band changeably.
Here, when importing initial stage of LTE-A system etc., suppose the more situation of terminal that has been defined reception bandwidth (for example, 40MHz frequency band).For example, suppose following situation, that is, at Fig. 7 Zhong Ruojiangmei 1 unit frequency band, be made as 20MHz, only use the terminal of continuous two descending unit frequency bands (40MHz frequency band) reception downlink data more.Now, according to this establishing method, two the PUCCH regions corresponding with two continuous descending unit frequency bands, the possibility being configured on the adjacent frequency band in up unit frequency band uprises, and is gathered the end that is configured in up unit frequency band.
For example, in Fig. 7, terminal 200 is set to two descending unit frequency bands of unit frequency band 1 and unit frequency band 2, and in any situation of a up unit frequency band of the unit's of setting frequency band 1 or unit frequency band 2, terminal 200 is set in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band the end of up unit frequency band.Particularly, be set the terminal 200 of up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 1 shown in Fig. 7 according to the order of unit frequency band 1, unit frequency band 2, the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band be set in to the end of up unit frequency band.Equally, be set the terminal 200 of up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 2 shown in Fig. 7 according to the order of unit frequency band 2, unit frequency band 1, the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band be set in to the end of up unit frequency band.Thus, in each up unit frequency band, untapped PUCCH region (, the PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band of Shi Yu unit's frequency band 0) can be set in to the frequency band of the inside in up unit frequency band here, so can guarantee more continuous resource for PUSCH.
In addition, even if receive the CFI information that band-limited terminal is not known the descending unit frequency band beyond the reception bandwidth of this terminal, also can suitably set PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource), described PUCCH region is assigned with mailing to the ack/nack signal of the downlink data of this terminal.For example, in Fig. 7, terminal 200 has been set in the situation of two descending unit frequency bands of unit frequency band 1 and unit frequency band 2, even if terminal 200 is not known the CFI information of unit frequency band 0, also only the CFI information based on unit frequency band 1 and unit frequency band 2 is set the PUCCH region of up unit frequency band (unit frequency band 1 or unit frequency band 2).
Like this, according to this establishing method, even if exist in a large number receive the limited terminal of bandwidth in the situation that, the possibility of having been used in order from being set in the PUCCH region of end of each up unit frequency band also uprises.That is to say, the PUCCH region that the limited terminal of not received bandwidth is used is set on the frequency band of the inside in up unit frequency band, so can guarantee that the resource in continuous broadband is as the resource of PUSCH.
In addition, in this establishing method, than PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band beyond the descending unit frequency band associated with this up unit frequency band, the PUCCH region that the descending unit frequency band associated with up unit frequency band is corresponding is set at the end of up unit frequency band.In addition, same with execution mode 1, terminal 200 is set the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band changeably based on CFI information.Therefore, according to this establishing method, same with establishing method 1, even the in the situation that of LTE-A terminal and LTE terminal coexistence, also can support LTE terminal at each up unit frequency band, and also same with execution mode 1, reduce PUCCH region.
In addition, in this establishing method, the unit frequency band number that system has been described is the situation of 3 (Fig. 7).But in the present invention, the unit frequency band number of system is not limited to the situation of 3.For example, the unit frequency band number of illustrative system is the situation of 4.Here, suppose each up unit frequency band and each descending unit frequency band associated (not shown) of unit frequency band 0~4.Therefore,, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, according to the order of unit frequency band 0,1,2,3, from the end of up unit frequency band, set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.Equally, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, according to the order of unit frequency band 1,0,2,3 (or, unit frequency band 1,2,0,3), from the end of up unit frequency band, set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.Equally, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 2, according to the order of unit frequency band 2,1,3,0 (or, unit frequency band 2,3,1,0), from the end of up unit frequency band, set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.Equally, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 3, according to the order of unit frequency band 3,2,1,0, from the end of up unit frequency band, set in order the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.
The establishing method 1 and 2 in the PUCCH region of present embodiment has been described above.
Like this, in the present embodiment, in LTE-A, even the in the situation that of LTE terminal coexistence, also can support LTE terminal, and same with execution mode 1, can not increase signaling and reduce the PUCCH region (ACK/NACK number of resources) in up unit frequency band.
In addition, in the present embodiment, illustrated that up unit frequency band and descending unit frequency band are symmetrical system.But the present invention also can be applicable to up unit frequency band and descending unit frequency band is asymmetrical situation.For example, as shown in Figure 8, at up unit frequency band (two up unit frequency bands) and descending unit frequency band (three descending unit frequency bands), be in asymmetrical situation, a certain up unit frequency band (Tu8Zhong unit's frequency band 1) is likely associated with a plurality of descending units frequency band (Tu8Zhong unit's frequency band 1 and 2).Now, the SIB2 separately by the descending unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 1 shown in Fig. 8 and the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 2, notifies the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band to terminal.Now, as shown in Figure 8, in the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, the starting position in the PUCCH region of the SIB2 notice of terminal based on by each descending unit frequency band, sets the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1 and unit frequency band 2 regularly.On the other hand, with above-mentioned establishing method 1 or establishing method 2 similarly, terminal is set PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band (Tu8Zhong Wei unit's frequency band 0) beyond descending unit frequency band associated in the up unit frequency band of Yu unit's frequency band 1 changeably.
In addition, in Fig. 6~Fig. 8, the starting position in the PUCCH region of notifying by SIB2 also can be in the end of the frequency band of up unit frequency band, and base station can freely be set.For example, in LTE, base station is applicable to send by being called N being provided with
rB (2)the skew of fixed resource of CQI information of setting parameter after, set the PUCCH region that ack/nack signal is used.Now, by by guarantee regularly in advance, for the resource settings that sends required a certain CQI information in the end of the frequency band of unit frequency band, thereby can similarly to PUSCH, guarantee more continuous and wider resource with the above-mentioned effect having illustrated.
(execution mode 3)
In the present embodiment, public CFI information is set respectively in base station between a plurality of descending units frequency band.
The control unit 102 (Fig. 1) of the base station 100 of present embodiment is by being set between a plurality of descending unit frequency band of each terminal, the downlink data that mails to each terminal is distributed equably, thereby control, so that the CCE number using in the distribution of downlink data is impartial between a plurality of descending units frequency band.That is to say, control unit 102 makes the OFDM code element number that uses in the transmission of PDCCH signal identical at all descending units frequency band.Therefore, control unit 102 is set public CFI information respectively in a plurality of descending units frequency band.Then, control unit 102 outputs to PCFICH generation unit 106 by the CFI information of having set.
The CFI information of PCFICH generation unit 106 based on from control unit 102 input, i.e. public CFI information each descending unit frequency band, generate PCFICH signal.
The details of the action of base station 100 in present embodiment and terminal 200 then, is described.Here, as shown in Figure 9, the unit frequency band number of illustrative system is the situation of two.In addition, two descending unit frequency bands of unit frequency bands 0 and unit frequency band 1 and the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 are set for terminal 200 in base station 100.
As shown in Figure 9, in each descending unit frequency band of the control unit 102 unit frequency band 0 of base station 100 and unit frequency band 1, set public CFI information.
In addition, control unit 102 is set as k by spendable CCE number in the descending unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 that terminal 200 is set and unit frequency band 1.That is to say, control unit 102, for terminal 200, is set equably to spendable CCE number in each descending unit frequency band.Therefore, allocation units 105 are distributed to respectively the CCE#1~#k of descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 that terminal 200 has been set and any of the CCE#1~#k of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1 by the PDCCH signal of each descending unit frequency band.
Then, the map unit 214 of terminal 200, by the ack/nack signal of the ack/nack signal of the downlink data being assigned with using respectively the CCE#1~#k of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Fig. 9 and the downlink data that has been assigned with using respectively the CCE#1~#k of the unit frequency band 1 shown in Fig. 9, is mapped to the PUCCH region associated with each descending unit frequency band.
Here, according to the formula of execution mode 1 (2), calculate the PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource) of using in sending the ack/nack signal of downlink data, the data of described downlink data for using the CCE of each descending unit frequency band to be assigned with.But, replace the formula (1) of execution mode 1 and according to following formula (3), ask spendable CCE in the descending unit frequency band of the frequency band i of unit in a certain subframe to count N
cCE(i).

Wherein, L
combe illustrated in CFI information (for example, L public in a plurality of descending units frequency band
com=1~3).That is to say, formula (3) is that the L of formula (1) (i) is replaced into L
comresulting formula after (public CFI information).
For example, have following situation, that is, in a plurality of descending unit frequency band (Tu9Zhong unit's frequency band 0 and 2) that terminal 200 has been set, the reception that the PCFICH signal of a certain descending unit frequency band occurs sends out mistake.Here, as long as the bandwidth of each descending unit frequency band is identical, the maximum number of the CCE that the CFI information based on each descending unit frequency band calculates (the CCE number that each descending unit frequency band can be used) is also identical.Therefore,, in each up unit frequency band (Tu9Zhong unit's frequency band 0), (in Fig. 9, the ACK/NACK resource of k) is identical for the size in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band.
Therefore, by base station 100 for the public CFI information of each descending unit band setting, even if thereby in the situation that there is the reception error of the PCFICH signal of a certain descending unit frequency band in terminal 200, if the PCFICH signal that the arbitrary descending unit frequency band beyond the descending unit frequency band of reception error has occurred normally can be decoded, can determine the PCFICH signal of all descending unit frequency bands.That is to say, terminal 200, when setting the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band, also can be used the CFI information of arbitrary descending unit frequency band.In addition, in terminal 200, successfully received in the descending unit frequency band of PDCCH signal, CFI information is normally received.That is to say, terminal 200 has been in the situation that successfully received the PDCCH signal of arbitrary descending unit frequency band, can determine and be set to PUCCH region corresponding to the descending unit of this terminal.
Therefore, even in the situation that there is the reception error of the PCFICH signal of a certain descending unit frequency band, terminal 200 also can prevent from sending the ack/nack signal to the PDSCH signal of a certain descending unit frequency band with wrong PUCCH region, and in base station 100, can prevent to conflict with the ACK/NACK of other-end.
In addition, even in the situation that the bandwidth of each descending unit frequency band is mutually different, base station 100 notifies the information that represents the bandwidth of each descending unit frequency band to each terminal.In addition, base station 100 is by for constituent parts bandwidth assignment and the bandwidth CCE number of proportional number roughly, thereby also sets public CFI between the different unit frequency band of bandwidth.Thus, each terminal based on can normally receive PDCCH signal descending unit frequency band CFI information and for representing the information of the bandwidth of each descending unit frequency band, can determine the PUCCH region corresponding with other descending unit frequency band.Therefore,, even in the mutually different situation of bandwidth of each descending unit frequency band, terminal 200 also can prevent from sending the ack/nack signal to the PDSCH signal of a certain descending unit frequency band with wrong PUCCH region.
In addition, for example, in the situation that in a plurality of descending unit frequency band that terminal 200 has been set, a certain descending unit frequency band is in the DRX (Discontinuous Reception discontinuous reception), in order to set the PUCCH region in the up unit frequency band associated with this descending unit frequency band, terminal 200 need to receive the CFI information (PCFICH signal) of the descending unit frequency band in DRX.In addition, in receiving the limited terminal of bandwidth, the CFI information of the CFI information of the descending unit frequency band in DRX and other descending unit frequency band cannot be received simultaneously.But, by by base station 100 for the public CFI information of each descending unit band setting, thereby the CFI information of the descending unit frequency band beyond the descending unit frequency band that terminal 200 can be based in DRX is determined the CFI information of the descending unit frequency band in DRX.
Therefore,, even in the situation that there is the descending unit frequency band in DRX, terminal 200 also need not be received CFI information and can be set the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band by the descending unit frequency band in DRX.That is to say, terminal 200 receives CFI information without stopping DRX in the descending unit frequency band in DRX, so can prevent that the power based on DRX from reducing effect decline.In addition, for example, even if receive the limited terminal 200 of bandwidth in the situation that cannot receive the CFI information of the descending unit frequency band in DRX and the CFI information of other descending unit frequency band simultaneously, the CFI information of descending unit frequency band that also can be based on other, determines the CFI information of the descending unit frequency band in DRX.
Like this, according to present embodiment, by using public CFI information in a plurality of descending units frequency band, even thereby in the situation that terminal cannot receive the CFI information of certain descending unit frequency band, also same with execution mode 1, can not increase signaling, and reduce the PUCCH region (ACK/NACK number of resources) in up unit frequency band.
In addition, in the present embodiment, base station, between a plurality of descending units frequency band, is set public CFI information and the downlink data that mails to a plurality of terminals is distributed.Therefore, by equalization effect, data allocations approximate equality almost between a plurality of descending units frequency band.Therefore,, even if public CFI information is set in base station between a plurality of descending units frequency band, also there is hardly the deteriorated of throughput.
(execution mode 4)
In being configured the PDCCH of descending unit frequency band to each, except mailing to the resource allocation information (RB assignment information) of each terminal, also comprise: MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme: modulation and coded system) information, HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Retransmission reQuest: mix request automatically and repeat) information and for controlling PUCCH transmitted power bit (PUCCH TPC (the Transmission Power Control: transmission power control) bit) etc. of the transmitted power of PUCCH.Here, in the situation that send a plurality of ack/nack signals of the downlink data to having sent respectively with a plurality of descending units frequency band from a up unit frequency band, even without by PUCCH transmission power control bit from a plurality of descending units frequency band notification terminal, and only from the descending unit frequency band notice associated with up unit frequency band.
On the contrary, if, there is following situation, in the frequency band notice PUCCH of a plurality of descending unit transmission power control bit from being set, terminal side by side receives a plurality of PUCCH transmission power control bits with a plurality of descending units frequency band, cannot suitably control thus the transmission power control of PUCCH.Here, PUCCH transmission power control bit for example, represents by the relative value (,-1dB, 0dB ,+1dB ,+2dB) of the transmitted power when last time sending.
Therefore, for example, in the situation of the represent respectively-1dB of PUCCH transmission power control bit of two descending unit frequency bands, terminal sends PUCCH with-2dB.On the other hand, in the situation that the represent-1dB of PUCCH transmission power control bit of two descending unit frequency bands, while there is the reception error of a PUCCH transmission power control bit, terminal sends PUCCH with the transmitted power of-1dB.Like this, if from the frequency band notice PUCCH of a plurality of descending units transmission power control bit, exist and cannot suitably carry out the situation of the transmission power control of the PUCCH in terminal.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, base station is for the terminal that has been set a plurality of descending units frequency band, uses the field of PUCCH transmission power control bit of the PDCCH of a certain descending unit frequency band, notifies the CFI information of other descending unit frequency band.Particularly, base station by be set to the CFI information distribution of the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal in the field of the PUCCH of PDCCH transmission power control bit, described PDCCH be configured in be set in a plurality of descending unit frequency band of terminal, be set to the descending unit frequency band beyond the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal.
The control unit 102 (Fig. 1) of the base station 100 of present embodiment to be configured to be set to the field of PUCCH transmission power control bit of the PDCCH on the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal of resource distribution object, minute pairing is set to the PUCCH transmission power control bit of up unit frequency band of this terminal.On the other hand, 102 pairs of control units be configured in to be set to the field of PUCCH transmission power control bit of the PDCCH on the descending unit frequency band beyond the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal of resource distribution object, distribute and be set to the CFI information of the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of this terminal.
The PDCCH receiving element 209 (Fig. 2) of the terminal 200 of present embodiment, by carrying out blind decoding from the PDCCH signal of separative element 205 inputs, obtains the PDCCH signal that mails to this terminal.Here, whether PDCCH receiving element 209 according to the descending unit frequency band that has been assigned with the PDCCH signal that mails to this terminal be and be set to the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of this terminal, judgement to the field distribution of the PUCCH transmission power control bit in PDCCH signal the content of control information.
Particularly, PDCCH receiving element 209 be set in the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of this terminal, extract control information in the field that is dispensed on the PUCCH transmission power control bit in PDCCH signal as PUCCH transmission power control bit.In addition, PDCCH receiving element 209 outputs to radio frequency transmitting element 217 (not shown) by the represented transmission power value of PUCCH transmission power control bit extracting.
On the other hand, PDCCH receiving element 209 be set in the descending unit frequency band beyond the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of this terminal, extract control information in the field that is dispensed on the PUCCH transmission power control bit in PDCCH signal as be set to the CFI information of the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of this terminal.Then, PDCCH receiving element 209 outputs to map unit 214 by the CFI information extracting.
The CFI information of map unit 214 based on from PCFICH receiving element 208 input, from the CFI information of PDCCH receiving element 209 inputs and from No. CCE of PDCCH receiving element 209 inputs, the ack/nack signal from modulating unit 211 inputs is mapped to and is configured to the PUCCH of up unit frequency band.That is to say, similarly, the CFI information based on each descending unit frequency band, sets being set to the starting position in PUCCH region in the up unit frequency band of this terminal, corresponding with each descending unit frequency band for map unit 214 and execution mode 1 or 2.But, map unit 214 from PDCCH receiving element 209 input CFI information in the situation that, use this CFI information as be set to the CFI information of the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of this terminal.That is to say, terminal 200 use to be set in a plurality of descending unit frequency band of this terminal, with to be set to the PDCCH of the descending unit frequency band beyond the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit of this terminal frequency band distributed, with the CFI information of the associated descending unit frequency band of up unit frequency band, set the PUCCH region corresponding with a plurality of descending units frequency band difference.
The details of the action of base station 100 in present embodiment and terminal 200 then, is described.Here, as shown in figure 10, the unit frequency band number of illustrative system is the situation of two.In addition, unit frequency band 0 and each descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1 and the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 are set for terminal 200 in base station 100.In addition, as shown in figure 10, be configured on the PDCCH of descending unit frequency band to each, be set respectively RB assignment information, MCS information, HARQ information and PUCCH transmission power control than the field of the various control informations of top grade.
As shown in figure 10,102 pairs of the control units of base station 100 be configured to set to the PDCCH on the descending unit frequency band of the associated unit frequency band 0 of the up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 of terminal 200, for example distribute RB assignment information (resource allocation information), MCS information, HARQ information and PUCCH transmission power control bit.
On the other hand, as shown in figure 10,102 pairs of control units be configured to be for example set, to the PDCCH on descending unit frequency band beyond the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 of terminal 200, unit frequency band 1, the CFI information (CFI0) of distributing the descending unit frequency band of RB assignment information, MCS information, HARQ information and unit frequency band 0.That is to say, 102 pairs of control units be set to the field of the PUCCH transmission power control bit on the descending unit frequency band beyond the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal 200, distribute be set to the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal 200 CFI information and replace PUCCH transmitted power bit.
On the other hand, with execution mode 1 or 2 similarly, as shown in figure 10, the map unit of terminal 200 214 is used CFI to set the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.In addition, same with execution mode 2, map unit 214 by be set in a plurality of descending unit frequency band of this terminal, be set to PUCCH region corresponding to the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of this terminal, than PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band beyond the descending unit frequency band associated with this up unit frequency band, be set in the end of up unit frequency band.
Here, map unit 214 is used from the CFI0 (distributing to the CFI0 of the PCFICH of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Figure 10) of PCFICH receiving element 208 inputs or from the CFI0 of PDCCH receiving element 209 inputs (being assigned to the CFI0 of field of PUCCH transmission power control bit of the PDCCH of the unit frequency band 1 shown in Figure 10), sets the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1.
Thus, for example, even in the situation that there is the reception error of PCFICH signal (CFI0) of the descending unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Figure 10, if terminal 200 also can normally be decoded the PDCCH signal of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, can determine the CFI0 of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0.That is to say, even in the situation that there is the reception error of PCFICH signal (CFI0) of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0, terminal 200 also can be based on CFI0 and the starting position in the PUCCH region of the unit's of setting frequency band 1.
In addition, by other descending unit frequency band (unit frequency band 1 in Figure 10) PDCCH notice be set to the associated descending unit frequency band (unit frequency band 0 in Figure 10) of the up unit frequency band of terminal 200 (unit frequency band 0 in Figure 10), be the CFI information (CFI0 in Figure 10) of the descending unit frequency band of the end that is set at up unit frequency band (unit frequency band 0 in Figure 10), PUCCH region.Thus, even in the situation that terminal 200 has been mistaken the reception of the PCFICH signal of the descending unit (unit frequency band 0 in Figure 10) in the setting PUCCH region, end to up unit frequency band, by other the PDCCH signal of descending unit frequency band (unit frequency band 1 in Figure 10), also can determine the CFI information of having mistaken the descending unit frequency band receiving.Here, owing to by CRC, PDCCH being carried out to error detection occurs, so if PDCCH is CRC=OK, the CFI information having sent thus be take high probability as correct information.On the other hand, cannot carry out error detection occurs to PCFICH, so reliability is lower than the CFI information in PDCCH.Therefore, terminal 200 is preferentially used the CFI information of notifying in PDCCH in definite PUCCH resource.
Therefore, even in the situation that the reception of the PCFICH signal of the descending unit frequency band in the setting PUCCH region, end to up unit frequency band has been mistaken, the PUCCH region that terminal 200 also can prevent from mistaking sends ack/nack signal, and in base station 100, can prevent and other-end between ack/nack signal clash.
For example, in the situation that be set to the descending unit frequency band of terminal 200 be two, terminal 200 is by normally receiving the PDCCH signal (CFI0) of the unit frequency band 1 shown in Figure 10, can prevent in base station the conflict of the ack/nack signal of 100 terminal room completely.In addition, in the situation that be set to the descending unit frequency band of terminal 200 be 3, for example, in the situation that except the unit frequency band 0 shown in Figure 10 and unit frequency band 1 applying unit frequency band 2 (not shown), terminal 200 is passed through the normally PDCCH signal (CFI0) of recruiting unit's frequency band 1, and the PDCCH signal (CFI1) of recruiting unit's frequency band 2 normally, can prevent in base station the conflict of the ack/nack signal of 100 terminal room.
Like this, according to present embodiment, even be set to the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal, be in the descending unit frequency band of the end that is set at up unit frequency band, PUCCH region, occurred in situation that the misconnection of PCFICH signal receives, terminal also can be determined CFI information by the PDCCH signal normally receiving in the descending unit frequency band at other.Thus, obtain the effect same with execution mode 2, and from be set to the associated descending unit frequency band of the up unit frequency band of terminal in order when setting in order from the end of up unit frequency band with PUCCH region corresponding to a plurality of descending units frequency bands, can reduce the probability in the PUCCH region that terminal mistaken for each descending unit band setting.
In addition, according to present embodiment, even in the situation that a plurality of descending units frequency band is set to terminal, by notifying the descending unit frequency band of PUCCH transmission power control bit to be set to one, thereby also can compatibly carry out the transmission power control of PUCCH.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the field of the PUCCH transmission power control bit in PDCCH signal, except by PCFICH signal notice CFI information, is also used, notice CFI information in base station.That is to say, owing to notifying CFI information with existing control channel, so without the signaling of new control information.
In addition, following situation has been described in the present embodiment, that is, the field of the PUCCH transmission power control bit in PDCCH signal is used in base station, notifies the CFI information of a descending unit frequency band.But in the present invention, the field of the PUCCH transmission power control bit in PDCCH signal is used in base station, can notify the CFI information of a plurality of descending units frequency band, also can notify the part CFI information of a certain descending unit frequency band.
In addition, in the present embodiment, for example in the situation that the descending unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Figure 10 in DRX, base station also can be to the PUCCH transmission power control bit in the PDCCH signal of the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1 field, distribute PUCCH transmission power control bit.Thus, though at the descending unit frequency band of unit frequency band 0 in DRX, terminal also can compatibly be controlled the transmitted power of the PUCCH of the up unit frequency band of configuration Gei Liao unit frequency band 0.
In addition, in the present embodiment, illustrated that the setting of PUCCH of the one end in the up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Figure 10 is as the setting in a routine PUCCH region.But, in the present invention, for the PUCCH of the other end of up unit frequency band of the unit frequency band 0 shown in Figure 10 and the PUCCH at the two ends of the up unit frequency band of unit frequency band 1, also can similarly carry out the setting in PUCCH region with above-mentioned execution mode.
Above, each execution mode of the present invention has been described.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the up unit frequency band that sends PUCCH signal (for example, ack/nack signal) in each terminal is also referred to as resident component carrier (Anchor component carrier), reference component carrier wave (reference component carrier) or principal component carrier wave (master component carrier).
In addition, following situation has been described in the above-described embodiment, that is, two descending unit frequency bands are used in base station, mail to the PDCCH signal of each terminal.But in the present invention, a descending unit frequency band for example also can only be used for a terminal in base station, send PDCCH signal.Now, same with above-mentioned execution mode, terminal is being set in the up unit frequency band of this terminal, uses the PUCCH region corresponding to descending unit frequency band of using in the transmission with PDCCH signal, transmission ack/nack signal.Thus, for example, can prevent and use conflicting of ack/nack signal between the LTE terminal of same descending unit frequency band.In addition, base station sends in the situation of PDCCH signal with a descending unit frequency band each terminal, and the descending unit frequency band using while sending this PDCCH signal is also referred to as resident component carrier, reference component carrier wave or principal component carrier wave.
In addition, following situation has been described in the above-described embodiment, that is, terminal is used and is configured to the PUCCH of a up unit frequency band, sends ack/nack signal.But, the present invention also can be applicable to terminal be configured respectively to the PUCCH of a plurality of up units frequency bands send the situation of ack/nack signal.
In addition, frequency band polymerization (Band aggregation) is also sometimes referred to as carrier aggregation (Carrier aggregation).In addition, frequency band polymerization is not limited to connect the situation of continuous frequency band, also can connect discontinuous frequency band.
In addition, in the present invention, also can use C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier, Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier/Identity, Cell-RNTI) as Termination ID.
In the present invention, it can be both the multiplying each other of (that is, CRC bit and Termination ID) between bit that shielding (scrambling) is processed, and also bit can be added each other, calculated the mod2 (that is, the remainder divided by 2 o'clock by addition result) of addition result.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, illustrate that Liao Jiang unit's frequency band is defined as the frequency band of the bandwidth with maximum 20MHz and be the situation of the base unit of communication band.But, unit frequency band sometimes also by as give a definition.For example, descending unit frequency band is defined as sometimes according to BCH (the Broadcast Channel from base station broadcast, broadcast channel) the downstream bands information in is divided the frequency band of gained, or the frequency band of the definition of the dispersion width according to PDCCH decentralized configuration when the frequency domain, or the frequency band being sent out at core SCH (synchronization channel, synchronizing channel).In addition, up unit frequency band is sometimes defined as according to the upstream band information from the BCH of base station broadcast and divides the frequency band of gained or near center, comprise PUSCH, the base unit of the communication band below the 20MHz that comprises PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) in two end portions.In addition, unit frequency band is also recited as component carrier (Component carrier).
In addition, associated also can the regulation by the uplink information (ul-EARFCN:E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number) in the system information (SIB) of notifying to terminal from base station by descending unit frequency band of up unit frequency band and descending unit frequency band.In addition, the uplink information in SIB is stipulated by 3GPP TS36.331V8.4.0.
In addition, also can use the n1Pucch-AN that stipulated by 3GPP TS36.331V8.4.0 as using SIB from base station to the starting position (resource number) in the PUCCH region of terminal notice.In up unit frequency band, PUCCH region is positioned at the outside (that is, end) of frequency band, and the value of n1Pucch-AN is less.In addition, as the starting position in PUCCH region, can use the N with 3GPP TS36.211V8.5.0 regulation
pUCCH (1), also can notify from being equivalent to be offset the resource N of CQI transmission use
rB (2)the relative position of resulting position.In addition, in 3GPP TS36.211V8.5.0, the PUCCH resource that terminal is used is to be called n
pUCCH (1)variable name represent.
In addition, in the present invention, terminal is in order to determine the PUCCH region of using in the transmission of ack/nack signal, need to be grasped the information (for example, the bandwidth of descending unit frequency band number, each descending unit frequency band or number (ID) of each descending unit frequency band etc.) relevant with intrasystem descending unit frequency band.In the present invention, the information relevant with this descending unit frequency band can be notified with SIB, also can be to each terminal notice.In the situation that the information relevant with descending unit frequency band to each terminal notice, base station also can only notify be set in the up unit frequency band of terminal, the information of the descending unit frequency band that is set of the PUCCH region of the PUCCH region more lateral more corresponding than the descending unit frequency band with this terminal use (maybe may use).Thus, terminal can be determined the starting position in the PUCCH region corresponding with each descending unit frequency band, and can from base station, notify the amount of information to terminal to be suppressed to required Min. the information relevant with descending unit frequency band.
In addition, in the present invention, also can limit the number that can set the descending unit frequency band in PUCCH region to a up unit frequency band.For example, in thering is the system of four descending unit frequency bands and four up unit frequency bands, also descending unit frequency band and up unit frequency band can be divided into respectively to 2 groups that by two descending unit frequency bands and two up unit frequency bands, are formed.Thus, the number that can set the descending unit frequency band in PUCCH region to a up unit frequency band is defined as to two.In addition, now, with two up unit frequency bands on the same group not, send the ack/nack signal of the downlink data to being sent by three above descending unit frequency bands.
In addition, following situation has been described in the above-described embodiment, that is, terminal is used for each the mutually different PUCCH of frequency band of descending unit region and is sent a plurality of ack/nack signals to the downlink data sending respectively with a plurality of descending units frequency band.But, also the present invention can be applicable to terminal and for the downlink data sending respectively with a plurality of descending units frequency band, send the situation (ACK/NACK bundling:ACK/NACK binding) of an ack/nack signal.In addition, also the present invention can be applicable to following situation, that is, terminal sends the situation of the ack/nack signal of the downlink data sending respectively with a plurality of descending units frequency band (selection of ACK/NACK channel (channel selection) or ACK/NACK multiplexing (multiplexing) with a PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource) of selecting from a plurality of PUCCH region (ACK/NACK resource).
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the CCE number by determining based on CFI information has been described, has set the example in PUCCH region.But, in the present invention, for the bandwidth of each unit frequency band, the relation between CFI and CCE number because of antenna number or PHICH number slightly different, but constant, so also can set the fixing PUCCH region of depending on CFI for the bandwidth of each unit frequency band.In addition, the bandwidth of unit frequency band also can be different between unit frequency band.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the PUCCH region of the descending unit frequency band associated with a certain up unit frequency band is set with the end from this up unit frequency band.Here, for the two ends of RBCong unit's frequency band of PUCCH, rise by additional index in order.That is to say, according to PUCCH resource number order from small to large, the RB at the two ends of Jiang Qicong unit's frequency band plays configuration in order.Therefore, in the present invention, also can from the little side of PUCCH resource number, set the PUCCH region of the descending unit frequency band associated with a certain up unit frequency band.
In addition, the channel with BCH, P-BCH (Primary BCH) or D-BCH (Dynamic BCH) etc. sends broadcast message (SIB).
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, for example understand and form situation of the present invention with hardware, but the present invention also can realize by software.
In addition, the LSI that each functional block of using for the explanation of above-mentioned execution mode is used as integrated circuit conventionally realizes.These functional blocks both can be integrated into a chip individually, also can comprise part or all and be integrated into a chip.Although referred to herein as LSI, according to degree of integration, can be called as IC, system LSI, super large LSI (Super LSI) or especially big LSI (Ultra LSI).
In addition, the method that realizes integrated circuit is not limited only to LSI, also can realize with special circuit or general processor.Also can use can programming after LSI manufactures field programmable gate array), or the connection of circuit unit of restructural LSI inside and the reconfigurable processor of setting FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array:.
Moreover, along with semi-conductive technological progress or the appearance of other technology of derivation thereupon, if there is the new technology that can substitute the integrated circuit of LSI, certainly can utilize this new technology to carry out the integrated of functional block.Also exist the possibility of applicable biotechnology etc.
